HeartLab

HeartLab is a bookable event venue in San Francisco's Mission District, offering a warm, flexible setting for organisers planning gatherings with a focus on connection, creativity and community. Its main room covers around 1,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 60 guests for social events, concerts and performances. For seated circles, it can host around 25 people, while movement and dance events suit groups of approximately 35.

The space can be arranged for workshops, retreats, sound healing, dance, talks, ceremonies, private celebrations and performances. A large daybed area provides relaxed seating for smaller groups and can be converted into a raised platform for a performance or ceremony. There is also a lofted nook for quieter conversations, one-to-one sessions or time to rest, plus an entrance lounge and tea station to welcome guests.

Included equipment supports a range of event formats. Organisers can use mood lighting, a projector and screen, speakers, a mixer, microphones and stands, with floor seating, chairs, cushions, blankets and yoga mats also available. A kitchenette provides a mini fridge, microwave, filtered water, tea supplies and coffee-making equipment. Silent disco headphones can also be hired for use at HeartLab or at another event location.

HeartLab offers hourly, full-day and weekend hire, and welcomes both private gatherings and public or recurring programmes. Hosts can book the space for a single occasion, a series of classes or circles, or a multi-day retreat. The venue is intended for organisers seeking an intimate, informal setting rather than a conventional banquet room, and its team can provide optional support with set-up and pack-down. Located close to public transport and neighbourhood cafés and restaurants, it offers a community-minded base for event planners in San Francisco.
